ardis deehoven, president of the american medical association. how do you explain what appears to be a lopsided system of payments here for medicare? >> it's very early, right now, i think, for us to really understand all the details involved. there are many elements to this that have to be reviewed and understood. it is very clear that our concerns have been around safe guards of this information. is the data correct? are we taking into consideration how this population needs specific care, and obviously releasing data doesn't address part of the issue, so i think on the front end of this discussion we have to be clear about the fact that we have to spend more time doing the dive into the data, what does it mean, how patients are being served and how they are being provided the care they receive. >> woodruff: based on what you have seen, dr. hoven, is this the way the medicare system is supposed to work? >> well, physicians need to be paid for providing high quality care to their patients, and the patients deserve to get the high quality care tha

the american medical association has historically led the effort in blocking the budget release citing privacy concerns and misuse of information. in a statement released tuesday the organization said: >> their point, doctors could not review the data before it went public. and the mam said high payouts don't necessarily indicate improper billing or fraud. doctors of sicker patients may get more money from medicare. still last year the centers for medicare and medicaid services recommended that all providers who bill over a certain threshold should be audited because fraud prosecutions have reached record numbers over the past two years. since 2007 the task force has charged 215 defendants. each convicted has been sentenced to an average of four years in prison. >> joining me now to discuss the significance of the newly released medicare data is from new york, dr. john stanz. from massachusetts, and here with me in washington why hasn't this data been released before? it's a huge deal to get access to it. >> it is a big deal, and consumer advocates have been trying for it. courts have

and i think if we marshal the resources of the federal government working with the american medical association, doctors in the community, etc., we can do with this. this is not only crime. it is public health. can i count on you to take the lead in this? >> yes, i will. and i will engage with other members of the cabinet. but beyond that to go beyond the federal government to try to anist others who should have interest in this as you have indicated -- the american medical association. and others so that we can really get out this problem in a balanced way. ans is simply not enforcement problem. this is something we have to deal with as a public-health health issue as well. >> senator shelby? >> thank you. i want to pick up on the chairwoman's area there. what percent of the people in federal prison roughly, and you furnishnt to furnace -- the exact number are in prison related to drug abuse, drug sales, connected to drugs? >> roughly about 50%. >> 50%. >> yes. states, i believe it is higher than that. >> i think that is correct. in most states the number is probably higher. >> what is the rat

state, and when they pass this law that required admitting privileges, which i would add the american medical associationecologists have said is medically unnecessary. after that law was passed, all but 24 of the clinics had to close, and two of the clinics in the rio goned valley, which is right on the border with mexico and is already a very under served area when it comes to health access had to close as well. what's happening to women who are on the border who are already in a really precarious situation is that there's a black market in pill form to reduce abortion. when the governor says he wants to make mississippi "abortion-free" that only means legal abortion. you know, as we saw before roe v. wade, women who are desperate to end their pregnancies, will often take matters into their own hands, and that's why attorneys for the clinic have argued that this regulation in mississippi would actually make women less safe, not more safe like the state claims. >> when you look at just the range of states that are passing these laws and the dramatic affects that this year having. alabama, which went from

this i will share statement from the american medical association. "the american medical association is committed to forsparency and the ability patients to make informed decisions. we believe the broad data dump by cms has shortcomings regarding the accuracy and value .f the medical services releasing the data without context will lead to misinterpretations, false conclusions, and other unintended consequences. payments or costs are not the only metric to evaluate medical care. value, and outcomes are critical. the information released by cms orl not allow patients payers to draw conclusions about the value or quality of care. the ama is disappointed that the centers for medicare and medicaid services did not include safeguards that would help the public understand the limitations of this data. that is the statement from the ama. your thoughts? guest: the ama has some legitimate concerns but it is the beginning of a conversation. without the data you have no idea what questions to ask. idea really about the practice patterns of individual physicians.

if we marshaled the resources of the federal government working with the american medical association, doctors in the community, etc, we can deal with this. this is not only crime it is public health and can i count you know to take the lead in this? >> i will and i will engage with other members of the cabinet and beyond the federal government i will try to enlist others who i think should have an interest in this as you indicated the american medical association and others so we can get at this in a balanced way. we have to deal with this as a public health issue as well. >> senator shelby. >> thank you. i want to pick up on the chairwoman's area there. what percent of the people in federal prison, roughly, and you might want to furnish the exact number if you don't have it off hand for the record, are in p s prison related to drug use and sales? >> roughly about 50%. >> 50%. and in the state, i believe it is higher than that? >> i think that is correct. i think it is probably higher in most states. >> what is the rate of not just drug related but recidivism of repeat offenders that

. >> in fact the american medical association is so concerned, it sent a sample letter telling patientsey could lose your coverage. you may be obligated to pay the full cost of services that we provide to you if you lose your coverage. providers worry that doctors and hospitals may not even know if someone isn't paying and doesn't have active insurance. and washington state actually passed a lot requiring insurers to notify doctors and hospitals to do that. >> they are going to be really stuck. >> doctors and hospitals that are accepting the plans in the exchanges are already taking low fees and they have agreed to those low fees and then to discover that the patient hasn't paid his premium, so they are going to paid at all, that's going to be a real unpleasant surprise. >> and some believe the administration may have to bail out providers who in many cases are obligated to treat the sick anyway. not only that, but the administration wants more doctors and hospitals in obamacare, leaving them holding the bag on costs would have the opposite effect. >>> two american astronauts from respe

prison officials do it because the american medical association bans doctors from giving lethal injections supposed to be executed after lockett but oklahoma's governor put a halt on the execution for two weeks pending an investigation. the next planned execution in the country is may 13th in texas. officials have been using a single drug since 2011 and so far, haven't had any issues. this is hardly the first time this year, even, that an execution has gone wrong. >> right. in fact less than four months ago, there was an execution in ohio involving a dennis mcguire and he was executed with a new combination of drugs due to unavailable of tested drugs and his lasted for 25 minutes. much longer than it should have, jake. witnesses say, for about 10 to 13 minutes he was seen gasping for air. that's the latest example of a botched execution. >> pamela brown, thank you. >>> malaysian officials bombarded with questions about missing flight 370. how did they respond when families ask why emergency transponders never signaled a crash. >>> a nevada rancher wondering if african-americans might have

he looked at rare last names and how often they showed up the american medical association register ofs. in the u.k., he looked at rare last names and looked at how often they showed up at oxford and cambridge. traditionally economists assumed they differ from country to country but the likelihood you would have the earnings of your parents was 40%. saying 70% chance he will not move up. reconceive variations across generations. over across the generations, five even 10, what he found was you are likely -- your parents may have done poorly but likely to do roughly the same. >> any distinction of what we can do to offset that. i would think new technology, education, perhaps adoption or something. makes a big difference. all the things we associate with progress, capitalism, technology -- i have done nothing. social america -- social mobility higher. overall it is kind of depressing. we cannot fix income inequality. in the end, he advocates for saying he it is what it is. so the best thing we can do is mitigate income inequality. >> thank you for that. you will stick with me that right

and most doctors don't want anything to do with executions and the american medical association saysically, they shouldn't. so doctors don't do these executions. prison guards do them with limited training, and that's one of the issues. they are using a drug that should work, but if it's poorly mixed, if it's poorly injected, if it's contaminated, then there is a danger of suffering during the execution and maybe severe suffering. >> it's important for you to fill the audience in on there was a drug that is in short supply and am i correct? there are two controversial options that are being used in and, in one case, the ohio case, there is this drug, mitozolon that is highly controversial at this point. correct? >> yes. so, states were using anesthetics like sodium,o pentabarbitol. ohio switched to a saidatiedats they used it. it didn't fully work. the inmate was groaning and coughing, not the things you would expect to see in an operating room. something went wrong. the governor stopped the next execution in ohio. other states are continuing to use medazolan. >> the final analysis,

the american medical association had spent decades blocking the release of this data. argued it would misinterpreted, there are privacy concerns for physicians. recently, a federal judge ruled that the public right to know eighed --. out-w they decided to release the data to the public overall. forne that wanted to search the information, we were finally given, after decades, a view into individual physician payments. it is amazing. it is the first time we have been able to see how individual doctors practice under medicare. here are some of the findings you wrote about. the headline -- a sliver of medicare doctors get a big share of the payouts. about 880,000 doctors and other providers to take medicare accounted for nearly a quarter of the roughly 77 to themdollar paid out under the federal program. guest: it shows you how concentrated the physician payments are. it is why federal regulators, the enforcement part of the regulators is so interested in combing through those payments to make sure that there is no overbilling or inappropriate billing. it is fascinating.

ever since then, the american medical association has blocked and sued to prevent this data from comingut. >> why are they so reluctant? that a sickly doctors often have a financial incentive to over prescribed and overuse tests and over utilize the system. some doctors who are the worst abusers are catching the headlines, but 40% of physicians are really driving the massive cost of medicare. the reason why medicare is at the center of the middle goal -- the medical crisis we have. some careers should get ruined by this and it is a black mark on the ama that they fought for so long to block this. >> yeah, if you don't have anything to hide, why are you try to hide it? >> you raised an interesting point. a lot of this beta has been kept private from the public and medicare has been able to see the data themselves and should be able to go after doctors themselves and go crack down the abuse but they have not done it. there are people who have said that medicare has not done a good job policing themselves because this program is a political hot potato. everyone wants medicare to go smoothl

reporter: "the american medical association" is so concerned they send a letter they can give their patients full premium they could lose your insurance coverage. this letter is intended, it goes on, to let you know if you lose your coverage you may be obligated to pay the full cost of services that we provide to you. so just a little warning to patients. bill: will the doctors, what hospitals know if somebody does not have active insurance here? reporter: they may not. they have them notify doctors as soon as a patient falls behind. washington state passed a law requiring insurers to do that. >> doctors and hospitals that are accepting the exchanges are already taking low fees and agree to the low fees and then to discover the patient hasn't paid his premium so they will not be paid at all is going to be an unpleasant surprise. reporter: they may have to bail them out, required to treat the sick anyway. what more doctors and hospitals to participate in obamacare having them hold the bag on cost would have the opposite effect. bill. bill: thank you. more to come. martha: the justice launchin

the american medical association formerly a big supporter of obamacare, not so much anymore, warning tors their customers might not pay them. here we are joined by a keynote speaker at the huge health care congress coming up this week, of kaiser permanente medical group, dr. robert pearl, a pleasure to have you with us. thanks for being here. >> my pleasure. stuart: what the make of the a m a? chamber be supporters of obamacare and are pulling back a lot. you are in the middle of all this. would he make of this? >> i am not sure i can comment specifically on the a m a but a couple points. as a physician i believe coverage is essentials and prevention is required and as a businessperson competition is crucial land also believe technology is essentials. stuart: look, doctor, we are in the middle of a revolution in health care in america. obamacare has truly upset the apple cart. it is not good enough to just say i am in favor of coverage for everybody, i want preventive treatment. what is obamacare doing to the american health-care system? >> many parts of what is happening in american

. >> probably, the most, celebrated study was one that was published in the journal of american medical association, and using a randomized control group that compared the cost of housing and the use of public services among the supportive housing residents. and this study, found cost among the supportive residents was $2449 per month less than the cost of healthcare detox and incarceration and emergency medical services among the control group who remained chronically homeless. and research has also allowed us to piece together what it takes to end homelessness as well as house public systems can achieve the greatest cost of effectiveness. so thank you. >> and so we know from the research, that the most people experiencing homelessness are homelessness for a short periods and fall into it simply because they cannot afford the housing on their income. and it is important to remember that these individuals and families, do not need support of housing, but they need short and medium term assistance to break down the barriers to allow them to access housing such as the security departments, and back u

> also this week another story that made headlines, a major review in the journal of the american medical associatione risks and benefits of mammograms. holly, tell us about this story. >> anthony this was a large study. it looked at over 50 years of research and ultimately they found that mammograms save lives but not as many as they thought. so they decreased the risk of dying of breast cancer by 15% overall, higher as you get older. many required follow-up procedures and some are treated for tumors that aren't aggressive enough to have caused them problems later in life. so mammograms do have their benefits, but it's not without some risks. >> i have to be honest. every time there's new guidelines i get confused because it seems like guidelines keep on changing. how do women know what they're supposed to do? >> i think they are confusing but ultimately it's not a one size fits all. mammograms are most effective for women that are high risk. it's really about identifying your risk and sitting down and having a discussion with your doctors so you get the research you need. >>> swedish research has s

according to a statement released by the american medical association, pregnant women will be likelyeeking prenatal or open medical care for fear that their physician's knowledge of substance abuse or other potentially harmful behavior could result in a jail sentence rather than proper medical treatment. so any government intervention to address drug dependency among pregnant women and their children must treat that addiction like what it is, a disease. and helping mothers to battle their disease requires a treatment-based approach that must first do no harm by ensuring they're not deterred from prenatal care. even as a law enforcement measure this bill is remarkably shor short-sighted because it targets only those web who use illegal drugs during their pregnancy. it is true 30% of mothers used illegal drugs specified boy the bill but it is also true that 42% of mothers of babies used legal drugs prescribed to them by a doctor for legitimate treatment. and another 20% actually used both. so not only would your law criminalize only certain types of drug abusers, it would completely ov
